Thank you, Alexei. Those are proper ways of doing it, of course.
Still, I'm going to stick to my method, especially since I've found
that one can simply paste a cell expression and the cell will be
created automatically. All is needed now is to reformat a pair of page/
selection title + URL into the right cell expression, which I showed
above.
The next question. Mathematica always asks me "The text you are
pasting corresponds to a cell expression... Do you want to interpret
the text?" Yes/No
Is there a global option to be set as to always have Yes as an answer?
Otherwise, my method is getting quite close to one simple copy/paste
combination.
